Ben's Corner

Escape Velocity

A long time ago, in another world where I smoked a pipe, sat out in the woods of New Hampshire and did artsy stuff like dress funny, grow facial hair and write poetry, I (ahem) composed a series of poems with a science fiction or fantasy theme.   While cleaning out the old hard drive, I came across a few things that I hadn’t read since I stopped dressing funny. I still do the other things.  For your amusement I thought I’d put up one of my old favorites superimposed on this amazing picture from the NASA photo galleries.

I'm a geek. A nerd, a dweeb, whatever. Yes I owned garb, yes I still own medieval weaponry. And yeah, I could kick your butt in Mechwarrior the CCG. I love video games, role playing games, tactical board games and all forms of speculative fiction. I will never berate someone for wanting to be a Jedi and take everything Gary Gygax ever wrote as gospel. Well, all of this but that last bit.
